Prisoner from Bury born in Toulouse? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

internee

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'prisoner' is the definition.
(I know that internee is a type of prisoner)

'bury born in toulouse?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'bury' could be 'inter' (to inter is to put into the ground) and 'inter' is located in the answer.
'born' could be 'nee' ('nee' is 'born' in French) and 'nee' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for internee that I've seen before include "Detainee" , "One kept prisoner" , "One is held without trial" , "Alien confined in war" , "suspected terrorist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
